Professional Experience
Associated Office
Drew Pion joined The Pion Team in the West Los Angeles office in 2018 after finishing the CBRE Internship Program where he and his team won the Annual Summer Intern Competition. The Pion Team works on large tenant representation negotiations, significant landlord assignments, investment and owner-user sales, and advises on property development strategy. Drew joined a team with over 80 years of cumulative experience in the industry and specifically in the Los Angeles market.
Drew's key roles on the team include sourcing and developing new business in addition to servicing and supporting long-time existing clients. For tenants, Drew adds value in the search process by identifying creative on- and off-market opportunities, spearheading lease negotiations and ultimately the delivery of office space to his clients. For landlords, Drew maintains open lines of communication by sharing market data and information and champions creative tenant outreach and marketing through traditional and more tech-forward channels.
Education
Drew graduated one quarter early from University of California, Santa Barbara where he majored in Sociology with an emphasis in Critical Social Theory and a minor in Sports Management while playing Division-1 Men's Volleyball, and earning 3 All-Conference Academic Team honors, for the Gauchos

Team Overview
Specializing in office services in the Los Angeles market
Our team provides intelligence, advice and targeted strategies that are as diverse as the clients we represent. We offer strategic consulting and transaction management services that enable our clients – owners, occupiers, investors and developers of commercial and office properties – to make informed decisions that serve their overall business objectives.
We have assisted clients at every stage of their real estate operations. Some of our clients need a partner on a straightforward lease negotiation. Others are reevaluating the concept of work entirely, looking for a creative new space or a better approach to efficiency and sustainability. We’ve served large, traditional clients, dynamic start-ups and everyone in between. These relationships allow us to approach each assignment with a nuanced grasp of where the market has been and where it’s going.
Our commitment to our clients, our diverse backgrounds and skill sets, and our shared passion for the business have earned us long-term relationships with leaders in the development and investment communities as well as tenants in the entertainment, technology, financial, professional services, healthcare, legal and non-profit industries. And our fully integrated approach has enabled us to successfully close over $6 billion in real estate transactions.
We’re creative thinkers with pragmatic methods, offering long-term solutions that benefit the bottom line.
